Hollywood star Tony Curtis recently passed away in his Nevada home. He was 85.
For those who might know him, he was in several movies ranging from the 1950s to the 1980s and did a few TV movies, short films and guest appearances until his death.
A few films he was in are Houdini, Some Like It Hot, Operation Petticoat, Spartacus, Goodbye Charlie, and The Great Race. He is also the father of Jaime Lee Curtis (currently in You Again).
I personally love his comedies Operation Petticoat and Goodbye Charlie. What about you?

I remember the first Tony Curtis movie I saw it was Houdini and I absolutely loved it. What is amazing is that he made over 100 movies many of which unfortunately never get shown anymore. Aside from Houdini I love Some Like it Hot and also Operation Petticoat because it's amusing watching Curtis playing next to his own idol Cary Grant and mimicing him in in places.

My favorite Tony Curtis film is Sweet Smell Of Success. He plays cad and Well! he isn't lovable nor sweet and that's why I love it. It is pure Drama! I hope wherever he is He Knows there is one person that sees him as a dramatic actor.

Tony Curtis was a Hollywood legend. He will be greatly missed by so many people. He made a lot of wonderful films that he will be remembered for. I still enjoy watching Some Like It Hot and the Great race over and over again. it will be difficult to find a talent like that of Tony curtis again.

Tony Curtis must be the worst actor and best actor both at the same time. He played some very good roles and a few that surely he, himself, must have regretted. He played characters that were not always likeable, and often characters that were idiotic. Few actors do that today! Love him or hate him, we will remember him.
